Hair loss is one of the most feared and traumatic side effects of cancer chemotherapy treatment. That's why scalp cooling caps, often worn during chemotherapy, have become an increasingly common sight in cancer wards. Chemotherapy drugs work by killing rapidly dividing cancer cells—unfortunately, they cause collateral toxicity to rapidly dividing healthy cells in our body, like those in the roots of our hair. Automated scalp cooling devices are used just before, during and after chemotherapy. It reduces blood flow to the scalp, meaning less of the drug reaches the hair follicles. But despite its potential, scalp cooling doesn't work for...

As more and more employees return to the office, by choice or by force, large companies are more interested than ever in understanding how they use the space. The pandemic fundamentally changed how and where people work, and even in the return-to-office dynamic, there is a greater focus on how to best utilize and monetize office space, as well as make it more energy-efficient. To that end, some companies are using body heat. Butlr, a 6-year-old, San Francisco-based startup that was a spinoff of MIT Media Lab, leverages body temperature technology to understand how humans act and interact in the...

Florida's turbulent housing market has been described in five chilling words as homeowners desperately try to offload properties. Chen Zhao, the head of economics research for Redfin, described South Florida as the 'epicenter of housing market weakness' in the US. 'The question for the rest of the country is, will this spread? Florida is uniquely bad right now,' Zhao told Bloomberg last month. The area saw a huge influx of new residents during the Covid-19 pandemic. Americans, freed by work from home orders, arrived in search of sunnier weather and lower taxes. But now the bubble has well and truly...

Los Angeles was devastated by wildfires back in January, and the area is still feeling the impacts of the disaster. So when $100 million was raised by two FireAid concerts at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Billie Elish, and Jelly Roll, you'd have thought the money would make its way to fire victims. Well, it's not that simple. Sue Pascoe, editor-in-chief at Circling The News, has the story of how this money ended up not going to fire victims, but instead making its way to...

Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the FBI for a criminal investigation. Some reports claim the referral relates to Brennan potentially having perjured himself before Congress. But on Wednesday, President Donald Trump may have pointed to another direction the FBI probe may take. In an interview with reporter John Solomon, Trump said he would declassify an annex to the May 2023 report filed by John Durham, the special counsel appointed during Trump’s first term to investigate Russiagate. The annex, according to Solomon, deals with the “Clinton Plan intelligence”—and, says Solomon, “lawmakers and Durham...

Explanation: Can some supernovas explode twice? Yes, when the first explosion acts like a detonator for the second. This is a leading hypothesis for the cause of supernova remnant (SNR) 0509-67.5. In this two-star system, gravity causes the larger and fluffier star to give up mass to a smaller and denser white dwarf companion. Eventually the white dwarf's near-surface temperature goes so high that it explodes, creating a shock wave that goes both out and in -- and so triggers a full Type Ia supernova near the center. Recent images of the SNR 0509-67.5 system, like the featured image from...

On May 23rd, The Times published an extraordinarily candid probe into how militarised drones have irrevocably revolutionised warfare in the 21st century, with Russia far at the forefront of this radical shakeup of how conflicts are waged. Meanwhile, there is little indication NATO members even vaguely comprehend this battlefield reality, let alone a single one of them is undertaking any serious measures whatsoever to prepare for conflict such as that currently unfolding and evolving daily throughout Ukraine’s eastern steppe.The Times piece is a first-person report of a visit to the assorted headquarters of Kiev’s 93rd Mechanised Brigade, in basements of...

What does it really mean to have German ancestry? If you’ve taken a DNA test and seen the "Germanic" label, your story is far richer, older, and more dynamic than any single result. Groundbreaking genetic research reveals that Germans descend from a tapestry of Ice Age hunters, early farmers, horse-riding steppe migrants, Celtic warriors, and global travelers. Each left its enduring mark, blending survival, innovation, and migration into the DNA of modern Germans.

A video showing federal agents walking through an Inland Empire grocery store Monday morning prompted a call for answers by community advocates. The video shared by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ICIJ) showed agents exiting an “employees only” area at the Stater Bros. location on West Hold Boulevard in Ontario. The incident prompted ICIJ Executive Director Javier Hernandez to ask why the agents were allowed into the store and expressed concerns over the Ontario Police Department’s role in the operation. Stater Bros. issued a statement Monday afternoon regarding the incident. “Unannounced, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents informed...

Former CIA Director John Brennan responds to accusations of a treasonous conspiracy to commit a soft coup" against Donald Trump from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: FORMER CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN: Here we are again, Nicole. It is unsurprising, very troubling, and very dangerous. As Representative Haines said, the person who leads our intelligence community today would put out something like this that just mischaracterizes and misrepresents, in a wholesale manner, what the intelligence community did during the 2016 run-up to the presidential election. Again, the misrepresentations just are ludicrous. When I read through the material, it reminded me...

Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney expires on Friday at 11:59 pm.

LaMonica McIver. “The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job. Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who must go. She must be rejected...

Decades before the rumored SR-72 “Darkstar,” America had already conquered hypersonic flight with the X-15 rocket plane. In 1967, this remarkable experimental aircraft, developed by North American Aviation, reached a stunning speed of Mach 6.7, a record for a crewed, powered aircraft that remains unbroken to this day.

The Obama administration conspirators must be prosecuted — no matter who they are.It’s not all that surprising, given that it happened in an iteration of the dreaded Friday news dump, that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations about the true genesis of the Russia hoax have not yet become the story of the century.It is that. The legacy corporate propaganda press will deny this fact to the moon and the stars, but that doesn’t change how historic Gabbard’s Friday release is.

'We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.
